Final Blog Assignment

People, who do the same type of work from another country understands the different roles we take. Three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field from my professional and personal development are language barrier, manners, and respecting their culture.


In many other countries, people take the time to learn a language, and therefore can speak several different languages. However for me, I found it hard to communicate with another teacher due to English being my first and only language.

Having manners are like doing a project, it is not just business but the way things are done. We need to take the time to get to know the people who we are working with instead of rushing. We need to read a little about the culture and be polite.

There is pop culture and there is culture. We have media culture and fast food culture and some icons of our country that are a part of another world. As we are a young country, there are elements of culture and history of other countries that may not be so important to us, but is important to them.

One goal I have is help promote an understanding of cultures and the changing cultural patterns.
